Azure AD - Enterprise App Authentication Timeout

We have a Registered Enterprise App provider who is asking:

"I’m looking to understand the authentication timeout setting for your tenant's Azure AD."

I am not familiar with this parameter, and have not been able to locate anything that looks like this in the Admin Center. Can anyone provide more information on this particular setting or the default value?

Thanks.

    Hi @Richard Dervan ,

    Thanks for the post! If you go to the Azure Portal, select the gear icon, and select "Signing out + notifications", you can configure directory-level idle timeout.

    Then you can enter minutes or hours for the timeout.

    For particular applications, you can configure conditional access policies and set conditions around sign-in frequency. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/concept-conditional-access-session

    Let me know if this is what you are looking for!

    Thanks,

    Marilee
